Food & Fun 2018

New Brand identity for the Food & Fun Festival. Done in collaboration with graphic designer Alexandra Bergmann. The festival has been a big part of Reykjavík's Restaurant scene for seventeen years and it was time for a fresh, new look.

The brief from the Festival coordinators was: "something very lively, colorful and jazzy!" I did loads of organic food illustrations that we paired together in three different ways, as three different courses in three different color palettes. Three various posters were printed on bus stops all over Reykjavík, flags and animated together into online banners and digital content.We also did a new look for the Food & Fun menus for all sixteen pariticapiting restaurants where we used the illustrations on the front cover and emphasized on the yellow color for the inside pages.

We also teamed up with photographer Antonia Larusdottir for an overall feel on photographs for social media that would go well together with the new look and mixed our illustrated content onto her photographs for instastory videos and website content.

Three Naked Party Ladies

After being stuck in the world of bad ideas and boredom for days I finally managed to step out of that world and in to a more colorful and crazy world. That's my illustrated story of those days.

Done in an illustration class at Iceland Academy of the Arts.Tutors: Halli Civelek & Lóa Hjálmtýsdóttir.

Kleinubarinn

Kleinubarinn started as a one day pop-up restaurant during restaurant day in August 2014 but became extremely popular and was one of the hottest thing to serve at various events in Reykjavík.

A Kleina is a traditional Icelandic delicacy which Kleinubarinn serves wit a twist. Topped with the amazing Icelandic Omnom chocolate and other sweet stuff.

Kleinubarinn is currently on a break while the three of us are living in different countries but will definitely have some epic come back one day!

Mæna05

Mæna #5

Mæna is a yearly magazine about graphic design in Iceland, published by the department of Design and Architecture – Visual Communication, Iceland Academy of the Arts. Each year has its own theme, and for the 2014 issue Mæna dealt with technology. Designers, academics and students wrote articles on subjects ranging from electronics of the past to dreams of the far future. Graphic design is dependent on technology and is often about making it more accessible. Our intention was to express this in a clear, creative and innovative manner.

The team consisted of 17 students, editor Dóra Ísleifsdóttir and creative directors Birna Geirfinnsdóttir and Lóa Auðunsdóttir. We wanted the magazine itself to be a comment on the designer’s toolkit, using methods such as laser cutting and folding techniques while abstaining from glue and traditional binding methods.

Mæna is set in Adobe Caslon and Apercu, and printed on Colorit, Chromolux and Munken Polar. Published in 500 copies and hand-bound by the team.

Leave Behind

Collaboration with product designer Ágústa Sveinsdóttir for Design March 2015. We used utilising imprinting as a design tool to produce patterns for textile and experimented with different ways of producing marks on a surface by using pressure, resulting in kaleidoscopic patterns that were quickly developed with a digital aesthetic.

Thanks to a cooperation with Textile Printing Iceland (the company of textile designer Gudrun Eysteinsdóttur, Margret Helga Skúladóttur and Jón Örn Arnarson), the designs were tansformed into chromatic digital prints on natural materials.
